Hot Spots: Must-Read Blogs 2011

As more and more people turn their focus online to get their news and information, the credibility of news and opinion blogs has increased.  Enough time has gone by for the web-inclined to learn which ones are reliable and which ones are rubbish. 

Some blogs have cultivated a reputation of being a source of solid information; some have become popular due to its uniqueness or for the writer(s) themselves.

These are a few of the latter:


The Unreligious Right -- We may not share a belief in the Almighty, but I certainly appreciate the high standard of writing and intelligent debate points.  Regularly posts a daily 'Hot5' which lists to other excellent links.

Bob Parks

Black&Right -- Bob Park is ahead of the curve when it comes to giving a different perspective on issues.  A slick site that contains Bob's unapologetic, direct opinion on the issues of the day.  A great source of pertinent information.


Atlas Shrugs -- The site of activist/crusader Pamela Geller.  Geller, with great assistance of her blog, has done more to bring attention not only the insensitive and downright disgusting Ground Zero/Victory Mosque issue, but to the dangers of radical Islam in general.  A site that is regularly read by other media honchos and government officials.

Joe Albertan -- Online for only a couple of years, it has quickly grown in popularity.  No one holds the feet of the current Alberta government to the fire more than JA and this blog. Often has information the Ed Stelmach Progressive Conservatives don't want you to know.

Larry Kudlow

Tym Machine -- A very cool and unique blog from Quebec.  It is refreshing to find honest, common-sense comments from la belle province instead of the usual, leftwing claptrap.  Written mostly in french, so use the translate option on your browser.

Kudlow's Money Politic$ -- The blog of a former economic advisor to Ronald Reagan gives the lowdown on the recent economic situation, examines and exposes Obama's agenda.  Larry Ludlow has long enjoyed a solid reputation as a go-to guy for ideas and reason.  We could use a guy like Ludlow in charge of the economic recovery right about now.
